"This report, drafted by Mr Meyer, concerns the activities of the Committee on Petitions during 2010 and aims to provide an overview of the most important events in this area over the year. With the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon on 1 December 2009, the European public saw its right to petition Parliament secured, and made a pillar of citizenship and a fundamental right, as enshrined in Article 227 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). More than just a collection of statistics, this report refers to the relationship of the Committee on Petitions with other European institutions, namely national and regional authorities. It is Parliament’s most dynamic committee, as it is the one that gives the European public a voice. Most of the time, it is the very Members of this House who are spokespersons for the public’s complaints and claims. Many a problem long overdue a solution is brought to a conclusion by this committee. It is no coincidence that the most broached topics concern the environment, fundamental rights, justice and the internal market. I welcome the excellent work of the rapporteur, and I am pleased with the results obtained by this committee."@en1
